People are trying very hard to prevent extinctions now so there is hope.

TIL that 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste equals one anchovy fillet. Good to know, IMO.
Hmm, this trail cam tastes strangely like bratwurst.
Why are you standing there photograhing this? Why don't you help the big dog get the puppy out of the pool, a$$hole?

Not his turn with the brain cell
We read somewhere that a cat's brain is about the size of a walnut - a fact that we frequently had occasion to recall when ours did something especially mindless.
Whaddya expect? It's orange . . .
the greatest picture ever taken
Maybe not THE greatest but pretty damned badass all the same.
I didn't know RC cars came that small.
The Following Dark.
40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.

The Riverbed Architect: Caddisfly Larva
In a world where survival is art, the caddisfly larva crafts its own armor — a mobile fortress made of tiny stones, sand, and debris. These underwater engineers use instinct and silk to assemble camouflage as unique as a fingerprint. 🧵🪰
From predator evasion to environmental harmony, this insect is a symbol of adaptability and biomimicry at its finest. Nature doesn’t just inspire — it builds.
📸 Witness the hidden genius of aquatic life — one pebble at a time.

She's right. But I would add 'being kept warm' to the list. Yup, that's it. Keep us warm, well fed and sexually exhausted and we'll do anything you want--anything!
